Written Demands, Complaints, & Investigations

Demands & Complaints for Wages: If an employer owes you earnings, you can send your company a written demand for payment of incomes by mail, email, text, or other electronic means. A written need might be sent out to the company at the exact same time a Labor Standards Complaint Form for unpaid earnings is submitted with the Division. The Labor Standards Complaint Form can be found on our Demands, Complaints, Responses, and Settlements website.

Employer Responses in Investigations: Once a complete Labor Standards Complaint Form is gotten and examined, a letter describing the nature of the problem and the amounts alleged to be owed is sent out to the employer. For additional information about the examination process, please evaluate the Wage & Hour Claim Investigations - Employer FAQs web page.

Investigations Launched by the Division (" Direct Investigations"): The Division may carry out employer-wide direct investigations of possible offenses of Colorado wage and hour law. If you want to submit a tip, employment please email the Division at cdle_di_tips@state.co.us. If you want to file a private claim for unpaid wages, you should fill out a Labor Standards Complaint Form on our Demands, Complaints, Responses, and Settlements website. To appeal a direct investigation citation or several Notices of Assessment, a supposed employer might submit a Direct Investigation Appeal Form.
